Winds of Change  by Lady Bluejay 2 Review(s)

Preparation - very important! And a distraction. Also wise.

Erchirion gave his sister some good advice there - Horselords are a difficult bunch, and they don't necessarily play by Gondor's rules. I think they've made their positions fairly plain. Without sneaking off into the private garden.

Good job. Most enjoyable.

Author Reply: No, I did not want him buckling down to their wishes too quickly. But of course, however much he wanted to go his own way - the end result is the same. LBJ

That was a wonderful chapter! The banter between Legolas and Gimli was priceless and Eomer did enough goading, too.I'm glad Lothiriel found them both amusing but also wanted to know about their exploits at Helms Deep, especially how Gimli saved Eomer.Gimli could certainly provide Lothiriel with enough details about the battle but, wisely, Eomer steered the conversation on to other things.

Eomer has probably never, ever taken so much interest in dancing before and his enthusiasm, especially in dancing with Lothiriel, is very endearing.Eomer's willingness to take the floor is both funny and romantic and he has everything so well organised.If I were Lothiriel(*I wish*),Eomer would be hard to resist about now.Who wouldn't want to spend the rest of your life with this man?!

Eomer took the plunge and bared his heart to Lothiriel and he was rewarded just the way he'd hoped--with a little help from Erchirion! That was a lovely ending and I loved Lothiriel's conviction that she would have no regrets.Eomer's parting words to Faramir were hilarious and I can't wait for the next chapter.

Lovely story.Update soon.

Author Reply: Hi Ali,

I have always thought him hard to resist! Its why I enjoy writing about him - I loved his character in the books and love to play with it in my stories. Some bits of him change - but not too much.

He is focused on sorting everthing out before he returns to Rohan - so he is even prepared to dance to achieve his goal!! LBJ
